An ape could though.

But what if we had infinite monkeys 🤔

Let's use our braincells to fix real problems first. Like pants that don't stretch.

I feel like there has to be more to this problem than pure probability. We ought to consider practical nuances like the tendency to randomly mash keys that are closer together rather than assume a uniform distribution.

This sort of study shows you more how mathematicians think than how science or philosophy works.

I've read there are so many permutations of a standard deck of 52 playing cards, that in all the times decks have been shuffled through history, there's almost no chance any given arrangement has ever been repeated. If we could teach monkeys to shuffle cards I wonder how long it would take them to do it.

If a tree folds in the forest and there's no one there to hear it does it make a sound?

For this experiment scientists recruited Gilbert, no one really pays much attention to him, and it's assumed the universe won't either.

I always heard that it was an infinite number of monkeys, not just one. So one of them might get the job done in time.

Really, it just takes an infinite amount of monkeys one time.

What if it's a smart monkey?

Abiogenisis in shambles again

This is a false flag study to undermine public support for mathematics research!
